obama, but it has changed michelle. she is a political pro. she is terrific in the delivery, and she knew exactly what to do and she did it. ann romney knew what she had to do and did it. both spouses in this case are terrific assets for their husband. michelle went out there, and she knew how to energize the base, but at the same time in a race with the romneys and ones were eating tuna and one was in a s rusty car and so after we got past the race of who was poorer and lived more humbly as young people, we could get to the policy. so it was a different speech poli policy-wise, but humanizing the men they were married to, and you see obama in four years, he's no longer the poor chicago state senator that we first met in 2004. he is now a millionaire who has been living in the white house and flying around in air force one, and so she had to humanize him and not just romney. >> it is the argument that your parents make. i had to go to school uphill both ways. >> barefoot. >> yes, barefoot as well. >> and marie, what is

president obama was nolt quite the president obama that many thought he might be. the rhetoric was not soaring. but in many ways, the speech was similar to what he did in 2008. it talked about what he wants to do in the future. but most it was i want to frame this choice in a way that's most helpful to me and most damaging to governor romney. and i think that while the speech didn't get great reviews, the people i talked to today about it think that he did what he needed to do in terms of reaching specific audiences with specific messages. gwen: i went through the speech while he was delivering it last night, peter, and counted i think 19 times he used that formulation "choice" or "choose." he likes that, doesn't he? >> it's become the mantra of this year. and looking at this speech versus the one four years ago when he used the word "promise" 40 times and this this is -- that was the time of promise this is a franchise and a choice of two as he sees it two radically different philosophies and that's as dan saying he set out to do here. he doesn't want it to be abo

. >> tonight we heard from the star of the obama family. first lady michelle obama. this hour we will be showing you the big moments, the first speeches and we begin with the first lady. take a look. serving as your first lady is an honor and a privilege. but back when we first came together four years ago, i still had concerns about this journey we'd begun. while i believed deeply in my husband's vision for this country and i was certain he would make an extraordinary president, like any mother, i was worried about what it would mean for our girls if he got that chance. how would we keep them grounded under the glare of the national spotlight. how would they feel being uprooted from their school, their friends and the only home they had ever known. our life before moving to washington was filled with simple joys. saturdays at soccer games, sundays at grandma's house and a date night was either dinner or a movie because as an exhausted mom, i couldn't stay awake for both. and the truth is, i loved the life we had built for our girls. and i deeply love the man i had b

because we still have 23 million people unemployed. >> the first half year of barack obama obama was just a financial meltdown. brought on by eight years of republican administration. >> let's go back and look at his promises. we can look at his promises from his convention speech four years ago where he said he was going to create more jobs and get the debt down. i think it is very symbolic of something you didn't hear. the national debt reached $16 trillion. that's very substantial. you did not hear the democrats talking about how to get that debt down for our children and grandchildren. >> before we get into the nitty-gritty of broken promises, we did see an extraordinary bit of video in the teddy kennedy tribute which had your guy, mitt romney, apparently saying on the record in a debate he's pro-choice when it comes to abortion. what surprised me is not that he flip-flop on that. we know about that. he was 47 years old. i'm 47 years old. much as i'd love to be a spring chicken, i'm not. i'm a fully rounded adult. is it really conceivable his view just evolved? or is it not more
